Night procession at a festival with a richly decorated ratha chariot on the left, adorned with garlands, lights and figures. A bald, bare-chested man in orange-red clothing stands near the centre, with a long-haired man in red-orange beside him, surrounded by a dense crowd. Several men wear white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and two gold-and-mirror-work umbrellas stand on poles in the right background. A long-haired young man in a grey top and orange shawl raises his hand at the right edge. A sign on the wall reads LADIES TOILET. Illuminated decorations glow in the background. The a person cue is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
